This is the most defensive activity I've seen from LeBron in years. He is hedging/helping and recovering like crazy. And his rotations are always crisp and almost perfect. He seems to be the only one who can consistently execute the defensive scheme.

BOOKA!

“The other day I saw one of his games. He was running with the ball at a hundred per cent full speed, I don’t know how many touches he took, maybe five or six, but the ball was glued to his foot. It’s practically impossible.”

Everything is too hard for the Wolves right now. Can't build any momentum.

If Gobert even had a semblance of an offensive game this series would be wraps against such a small Laker team.

Julius Randle really came to play this series. I remember his rookie year and his development is certainly impressive.
